2015 Transit Connect Wagon vs Ram ProMaster City Passenger Wagon

Power and Performance

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon is our pick for power, thanks in part to its impressive engine options. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 169 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque, enough power to easily haul heavy passenger loads. It's also fuel efficient, achieving 20 city/28 highway mpg. For greater heft, shoppers can choose the available turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. It makes 178 horses and 184 pound-feet of torque. On the road, drivers can expect 22/30 mpg. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels.

The 2015 Ram ProMaster City Passenger Wagon comes with one engine, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 178 horses and 174 pound-feet of torque. Properly equipped, both the ProMaster and Transit Connect can tow up to 2,000 pounds. The ProMaster can haul a slightly greater payload of 1,883 pounds. The Transit Connect's maximum payload is 1,620 pounds.

Configurations

Although both models offer a wide range of configurations, the 2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon takes the lead in this category. Wagon shoppers can choose between three trim models: the XL, XLT, and Titanium. The mid-range XLT can be configured to seat up to five or seven passengers, depending on which wheelbase shoppers prefer. Both the entry-level XL and the top-trim Titanium models offer standard seven-passenger seating.

The Ram ProMaster City Wagon is offered as the base and SLT trim models. The SLT is the more luxurious of the two. Both models offer room for up to five passengers.

Passenger Space and Comfort

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon delivers supportive seating and a roomy cabin. The entry-level XL Wagon comes with standard second- and third-row seats with room for up to seven passengers. Rear climate controls mean all passengers can find the perfect cabin temperature. The midlevel XLT improves passenger comfort with cloth upholstery. The top-trim Titanium is truly luxurious, with creature comforts that include leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof.

The Ram ProMaster City Passenger Wagon offers seating for up to five passengers. It's doesn't get quite as luxurious as the Transit Connect, with basic features that include cloth upholstery.

Safety

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon is our pick in this important category. It offers a wide range of high-tech options. Shoppers can add front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera to make maneuvering through tight spaces as safe as possible. The available Ford Sync system can be paired with a cell phone to dial 9-1-1 after a crash. Ford's optional MyKey technology sets speed and stereo volume limitations for secondary drivers.

Like the Transit Connect, the Ram ProMaster City helps drivers maximize on-road control with antilock brakes and traction and stability control. It also comes standard with trailer sway control and rollover mitigation for an additional layer of passenger protection.
